[edit] Special abilities

A shadow fiend has 100% immunity to cold, electrical and fire damage, as well as the usual undead immunities to critical hits, death magic, disease, level drain, ability drain, mind-affecting spells, paralysis, poison, and sneak attacks.

A shadow fiend can cast darkness once per day with a caster level of 14.

Due to the presence of a special AI script (namely x2_ai_shadow), a shadow fiend summoned by a shadowdancer normally forgoes its regular attack to conduct a shadow attack every round.

[edit] Notes

• This is one of the creatures summoned by the summon shadow subspell and the death domain ability. It has a higher dexterity than a standard shadow fiend.
• The shadowdancer summon has a higher strength (12, giving it +1 to attack and damage rolls), damage reduction 30/+2, turn resistance +10, and immunity to knockdown. Furthermore, these monsters are incorporeal (which implies 50% concealment), and have use of their shadow attack. The ResRef for this creature is x1_s_shfiend.
